One day you notice
Grown up you are
Your mind does wander
Back quite far
To think of what
You wanted to do
With your life
But half way through
You really start
To know that deep
Down in your heart
You’d better get on
With what to be
You’re being followed
By mortality
(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
It’s something I
Try to define
How they make you
‘Fall in line’
People shaping
Is what they do
Programs set
For me and you
For social order
That’s what they say
But it’s comply
You must obey
In their schemes
They did find
Just how to control
Your will and mind
But to what end?
(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
Just why is it
Quite is so hard
To keep your head
Don’t drop your guard
The living dead
Surround my soul
I need to remember
Life takes its toll
I will be fine
Just need to vent
About my rage
Of years I’ve spent
Of my mistakes
I never meant
To understand
My mind is bent
(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
As the delicate butterfly
Passing through
Does flutter by
I follow it and if I try
To work out what
And maybe why
He rarely stops
Or says goodbye
Because of course
He’s a butterfly

Rhyme and Reason
I agree
That while we’re still
Not quite sure
Of where we will
End this road
Starting again
Of back and forth
And now and then
If we were
To know the end
Would we start
It all again?
(c) K Wicks
Rhyme and Reason
When you hear them
Don’t resist
The whispering words
Need to exist
Let the words
Out of the cage
For passions pen
To fill the page
(c) K Wicks
While looking through
What was is in mind
There was a point
That I did find
Working back through
To try and reflect
On what deserves
Time and respect
But not too long
Within the past
Something’s should fade
Not meant to last
Forever…

Rhyme and Reason
If sometimes life
Throws you a curve
From where you stand
You should observe
Where you are
And where you’ve been
What is your purpose?
What does it mean?
It could be relevant…
(c) K Wicks writer and photographer
Rhyme and Reason
Try and locate
Your place in time
It shouldn’t be
Such a crime
To be who you are
And know your mind
Trust your instinct
You might just find…
Yourself

It could be said
When we choose
Some we win
And some we lose
But if you never
Give it a go
You may just think
You’ll never know…
